Question : Vibhuti Ltd. Forfeited 40 shares of Rs. 10 each, Rs. 8 called up, on which Jhanvi had paid application and allotment money of Rs. 5 per share, 15 shares were reissued to Parker as fully paid up for Rs. 6 per share.
What is the balance in the share Forfeiture Account after the relevant amount has been transferred to Capital Reserve Account?
Option 1: Rs 0
Option 2: Rs 5
Option 3: Rs 25
Option 4: Rs 125
Correct Answer: Rs 125
Solution : Answer = Rs 125
Number of shares re-issued = 15 shares
Share forfeited A/c (Credited) (15x5) =75
Share forfeited A/c (Debited) (15 shares x 4) = 60
Transfer to Capital Res = 15
Balance of Share forfeited A/c = Rs 125
(Number of Shares not re-issued) =(25 shares x 5 paid up)
Hence, the correct option is 4.
